FM vs Coppell

Where do ya'll keep coming up with this stuff about sitting out a game after an ejection? Unless the school or coach has a policy of sitting a kid, the kid plays. The UIL doesn't have any such policy.

The policy you may be referring to is the policy governing coach ejections. I understand that any coach ejected during a UiL sport must appear in Austin before the State Executive Committee, at which time they can issue a punishment up to and including game suspensions.

Not aware of player ejection resulting in that unless it becomes chronic.

Wonder if Train's first name is Tommy?

Would explain his knowledge of Coppell and FM.

BTW, here's LISD's Code of Conduct, doesn't say anything about a suspension.

Now thats funny

We had a player ejected in a game a couple of weeks ago. He did play the next game, so I'm assuming there is no 1 game suspension for players that are ejected.

OK - let's say it rains tomorrow and the postpone the game, Saturday FM plays McKinney and then has a Tuesday game with Lewisville and Hebron on Thursday.

When do they schedule the game?

That could really mess-up their pitching...what's left of it.

The non-district games probably get bumped.

The way it's raining, there is no way most games will be played tomorrow.

Haha, I don't know who train is, but I'm positive its not Tommy. Also, just because there are several tigers at Coppell doesn't mean that Tommy has anything to do with; I'm wondering who has started all these tiger rumors...

I was told last night that the FM vs Coppell game is supposed to be Saturday at 7pm. Is that still on?

Train
it looks like your team could have used JM last night.

I cannot believe JM showed up last night.

The non-district games are scheduled primarily to allow the players who don't get much playing time during district play a chance to perform in game situations. I think it's a good idea.

Yes, they are the first ones to get bumped in makeup situations.

MMWS -- I sent you a PM last week -- not that you need to reply, but sometimes they're lost. Thanks for oferring to help with umps for Sat night -- it worked out fine with our chapter. Seems some of the makup games did not materialize.

Dear Transfer, JM appears to be a fine young man and not afraid of what everyone thinks. Good for him.

He is a good young man and has a good head on his shoulders, very intellegent. Very athletic. You are very lucky and deserving to have him and all that he brings to the table. Good Luck!

After much thought and a few conversations I have changed my mind.

This move was for purely athletic reasons. Two good ones, football and baseball. This kid should have to sit-out an entire year period. Not his fault, just bad timely and decisions made my the adults in his life.

If the Flower Mound AD / Football head coach can get it done I think it would serve as notice to all parents to think before they move.

Your son must be the quarterback ?

Meatsdad - I admire you for going on the record with your thoughts. Although no one but the committee will have all the facts, I believe many outsiders looking in have the same opinion that you do.

Personally, I think they will side with the athlete so as not to prevent a great talent from missing a year of development.

Who did you have conversations with to draw to such conclusions? Did you talk to the mother, father and step-father? As Yoda (Star Wars) would say "idle speculation, have we." If you want to speculate on baseball games, teams, strategies, etc. go for it, but I do not think we should use this forum is for speculation on family issues.

This is strictly an athletic speculation that is in the public domain...and newspaper.

If an athlete moves for athletic reasons he should sit out a year or whatever the rules state, I didn't feel like going to the UIL web-site to check it out.

Do you think in a conversation with any parents about why they were moving that they would admit they were moving for athletic purposes if they were?

UpnIn - Maybe I am naive but I don't follow why you gave me the eyeroll.....I'm just trying to give the benefit of the doubt to the committee and the family.

The speculation you make is by its very nature, a personal speculation, not an athletic one. The whole UIL concept is one of judging intent, the intent of the family and the player. Was their intent to move for family reasons or athletic reasons? I think it is bad process to ask H.S. administrators to make such a call in the first place.

You question the parents credibility, but do you believe everything you read in the papers? on the message boards? or even the H.S. administrators who have their own vested interests? This is all idle speculation.

ACowboy,

I think we are on the same side. I don't want to argue the point with you. I didn't question any specific parent's credabilty nor would I in a public forum. People make decisions all the time for their own reasons.

My post was as much to publicly state my stance on an issue that I had previuosly stated otherwise because my private conversations had changed and I try to not be a hypocrite.

Overall, I am more of a Libertarian. People should be able to move anytime they want and have their children attend any school that meets their needs. But even that would have to be within reason when athletics came into play, maybe the kid just couldn't compete at the Varsity level in that same sport in the same season. I don't know what it would look like , some order would need to be held.

In this case, I am sad for the athlete. The ruling was suppose to have been made but I haven't heard what that was yet. I hope he stays in Coppell and at CHS and starts playing Varsity Baseball, March 20, 2008. Coppel can always use a good athlete and a good kid from what I have been told.

Train,

What are your thoughts on this decision?

Do you know the details yet?

At least we won last night, what did you think about the win?

I'm not sure how any conversations on the issue could really influence opinion unless they were with a member of the family. There are so many unfounded rumors flying around its not even funny.

Quite frankly, the issue is the business of no one on this board. While this first hearing was against the athlete, history seems to show that with each succeeding appeal, the decision is more likely to be made in favor of the athlete. I wouldn't expect the family to win the first one when they are being judged by people in that immediate area.

Then FmJags1330, by your own admission, it is none of your business either --- but that is not preventing you from commenting on it. If you're representing the family, then state your affiliation, otherwise your participation in the discussion is no better or worse than anyone else's. I'm not trying to be harsh, but the subject has been closed/opened 3 times now and it obviously still elicits hot sports opinions.

Peace.

Ahh, I apologize. I was under the assumption that being a member of the family gave me the right to speak for them.

Jags - With that being said, and realizing you don't owe anyone an explanation, the floor is yours. All eyes and ears are waiting, if ever you're ready.

Don't be under the belief that I was in any way involved in the decision making; that honor belongs entirely to the rest of my family.

It would be redundant for me tell the whole story. If you want to get a good idea, you can look at my previous posts. I just took it upon myself to put some truth into the discussion. Honestly, I'm a little offended when I see people making totally unsubstantial accusations at my family and watching others applaud them for it.

I don't have any problems with people having their own opinions, but when they come to this board to spout them without having any knowledge on the subject, I feel I should at least have my input.

I can't visit this board enough to say everything I should, but I'm trying.

Jags -- I must have missed the fact that you were a family member. Certainly you have "inside" -- even if somewhat biased -- information. We appreciate your input. I asked about your affiliation so we could understand your point-of-view.

My only purpose in speaking was to put a stop to some of the things that were being said. If everyone had all the facts, they're welcome to announce their opinions. The problem is, outside the family, nobody has all the facts.
